Avoiding my anxiously attached boyfriend
Welcome to "Avoiding My Anxiously Attached Boyfriend"! (AMAABF). A hilariously chaotic podcast that delves into the highs and lows of being an anxiously attached boyfriend of an avoidant attached partner.
Join the first visual and audio LGBTQ+ podcast hosted by a mixed heritage couple! Get to know Faris (anxiously attached), who's always seeking reassurance, and Josh (Avoidant attached), who self-sabotaged every relationship, until this one! No matter how hard he tried.
This podcast came to fruition from long night chats in the garden with a cuppa, solving all of the world’s issues. Originally, starting as a podcast in our garage, to a beautiful studio in the snazzy city of London.
We want this podcast to be a place our beautiful listeners can enjoy, have a laugh and escape yaylity!
So, join us and subscribe for new episodes every MONDAY! Peace, Love, and Rubber Gloves.
